Description
Visit a myth-infested 1820s Ireland. One dark (if not particularly stormy) night, you find yourself face to face with a frightening visage—or lack thereof. Though shaped like a man, the creature you’ve encountered appears to have lost his head. Worse, he seems to think you might be the one to blame!
"The Harbinger's Head" is a fantastic 46,000 word interactive horror novel by Kim Berkley, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
It’s up to you to prove your innocence and discover the true thief of the harbinger's head before your own winds up on the chopping block!
• Play as male, female, or non-binary. • Step into the shoes of an herbalist, schoolteacher, or lamplighter. • Shape your personality and build your skills through the choices you make, or trust your luck at your own peril. • Make friends—or enemies—of the various Fae creatures you’ll encounter along the way. • Discover one of eight endings…or meet an untimely death.

Why am I rooting for the Callahan? Lol. The story is short but great.

An Okay story. Not boring but nothing to get hyped about either, I was interested & Curious but not necessarily immersed. I like how you are able to replay the chapter if you die instead of having to replay the whole story, though if you'd have to it's not that long. I replayed the 2nd to last chapter a few times, Dying by the Witch after she kills the Headless & her Sister dies, Killing the Witch after she kills the harbinger & Killing the Witch whilst retrieving the headless's head.

The story was fun with I guess some bits of mystery and I loved hiw our charter interacts with the harbinger and I loved how simple the story was and jow grounded it felt but i kind of wish the story could be updated manly because I played through most of the story and heard most of the dilologe and it kind of got repetitive and soon i kind of started to just click through dialogue and zooming through the story.

A well written cog, a bit short but considering the shockingly low price
it's an amazing deal.

Extremely awkward and rushed with no real character development. It wasn't worth it.
